摘要
A 55-year-old female presented with recent exacerbation of the chronic cough, dyspnea, and copious expectoration. The symptoms worsened during the winter months. In the past, she was misdiagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. A computed tomography scan revealed bronchiectasis changes, high attenuated mucus, and hypereosinophilia. The diagnosis of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) with subacute invasion was confirmed through bronchoscopy and fungal culture. Treatment with oral voriconazole significantly improved lung function and quality of life. This case highlights the importance of considering invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in patients with exacerbations of asthma and bronchiectasis. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for improved outcomes in such cases.
